Unfortunately with all the craziness of school I don't get to read as much as I would like to. That's why I am so happy that school is over and I can take the time to read a few new books I've had on my list for awhile.

A few months ago I wrote and article on eight books that changed my life. And today I am here to give you another eight books that are must reads. I've read a good amount of books since that article so it was hard to choose just eight. But I thought since many of us are starting break it would be a great time to give people some ideas. Self help books an inspirational books are my jam and I am so excited to share this list with you, so here it is!

1. "Girl Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis

2. "ACT Like a lady" by Keltie Knight & Becca Tobin & Jac Vanek

3. "Get Out of Your Head" by Jennie Allen

4. "You Are a Badass" by Jen Sincero

5. "Don't Overthink it" by Anne Bogel

6. "Buy Yourself The F*cking Lilies" by Tara Schuster

7. "Your Next Level Life" by Karen Arrington

8. "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey

You might notice a few recurring authors on this list but it's because there books really are just that great. I loved everyone of these books and they have helped me with dealing with my professional and personal life. I know theres this weird stigma around self help and self love books but I think they are one of the best genres. So I say this winter break go to your local book store and grab a book that makes you feel happy, no matter what genre it is.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
